They will set it at 22mph or whatever speed however you must sign the form stating you are 'requesting' for the speed over 20mph. My cart is set at 22mph however I feeel safer for extra power going around someone who is driving under 17mph and a road hazard! There are some very impatient people who will pass 3 or more carts just to get in front of the line, so to speak! I had an older gentlemen hit the curb on the LSL bridge and fell out of his cart! Not speeding, just trying to drive!! So the setting of the speed on a cart is not the only problem!
